The Collie Eagles Football Club took the lead in raising funds to help former Collie footballer Perry Green, who faced lifelong disabilities after a car accident on January 1, 2003.

The former Mines Rovers player suffered crushed vertebrae in his neck and lost almost half of his left hand, with only the thumb and forefinger remaining.

Mine accidents worried union

The Construction, Forestry, Mining and Energy Union (CFMEU) called for thorough investigations into the cause of two accidents at Wesfarmers Premier Coal’s mine site.

The two accidents, one involving a collision of two mine vehicles and the other a bulldozer “arcing” a power line, could have been deadly.

Main Roads rejected call for upgrade

The Collie Chamber of Commerce and Industry wrote to Main Roads urging for much needed upgrades to the Coalfields Highway.

The Chamber wanted the highway to be four lanes along the road’s entire length.

In response, a Main Roads spokesperson said that the accident rate along the highway did not indicate a particular problem. Review level was set for expansion

Environmental assessment was set at a Public Environmental Review (PER) level for the expansion of Collie Power Station if it was selected as the next base load power station in Western Australia in 2003.

Canberra’s jarrah threat deemed appalling

Then-South-West MLC Christine Sharp condemned a move by the Federal Government in 2003 to increase the amount of jarrah logged in Western Australia from 100,000 to 200,000 cubic metres that year, or risk losing timber industry assistance funding, as irresponsible and ecologically unsustainable.

Sport

Eagles relied on home-grown talent

The Collie Eagles Football Club resisted the temptation to follow some of its rivals and “buy in name players” as it geared up for the 2003 season in the South West Football League.

It instead decided to rely on developing home-grown talent to improve its league side.
